Alexander Twining, whose first “elementary trials” were “made as far back as the year 1848,” and James Harrison, an Australian printer and newspaperman, who built a mechanical ice-making machine in 1851.10 The 1870s saw the beginnings of rapid commercialization of vapor compression refrigeration with a system developed by Carl Paul
Accordingly, this brochure will focus on the mechanical engineering aspects of the railway, with the most significant aspect being the locomotive trials held at Rainhill during October 1829. The Rainhill Trials are one of the earliest known examples of an engineered program to evaluate competing machines in a real-world environment.

Oct 24, 2011 · Virginia (nee, Merrimac) at Hampton Roads, Virginia, on March 9, 1862. Most of that interest is focused on the revolutionary Monitor and its iconoclastic designer, John Ericsson (whose bust sits in the lobby of the ASME's New York headquarters to this day). Both the ship and the man were totally unlike anything else the world had seen.
Jun 1, 2012 · But John Joseph Montgomery (1858–1911) is not a name that quickly comes to most minds, yet he paid the ultimate price for his flying endeavors. Having performed the first controlled airborne human flight in a heavier-than-air craft in 1883—roughly 20 years before the Wright Brothers' successful and hallowed flight—Montgomery was one of the earliest achievers in the attempt to create a consistent flying machine.
1945 William Henry Harrison "Who in times of peace has been devoted to his civic services and effective in his recognition of the essentials of human betterment, and who equally in time of war, inspired by the same ideals, has generously served his country, is awarded by his fellow engineers the Hoover Medal for 1945." 1946 Vannevar Bush
Nov 11, 2011 · As the Tichy Boys, he and his 32-year-old guitar-whiz son, Graham, hit the college-town clubs of Troy, NY, as one of the region's go-to bands for rock-n-roll's raunchy, country-fried evil twin, rockabilly. As an engineer, Tichy's a heavy hitter. He's the former department chair at RPI, an ASME fellow, a former technical editor of the ASME ...
